text indentation in LyX interface

Post by ritchey »

Hi everyone,

I would like the text in LyX interface to be indented on both sides by circa 3 cm, so the text gets more "narrow". That´s because I have problems with orientation in paragraphs, when the text is justified from one side of the screen to the other. But I want it to look so only in LyX interface, I don´t want it to be changed in final printed version (which is for example two columns layout).

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot.

After some time of playing here I found a solution:

just put this code

Code: Select all

LeftMargin  MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
RightMargin  MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
somewhere in the part called Style Standard in the file /usr/share/lyx/layouts/stdclass.inc

You can put how many M letters you want, according to your intended margin size.
